Would it be ok to come out and watch for a couple hours, to get a feel for things? I've been really interested in something like this, and I probably have the gear I would need, but have never done anything like it, so I don't really know where to start.
That sounds like a good idea. Can I come too? Can I? Can I?
Looks like it requires a little more gear than what I have. I would need to figure out a way to carry rifle mags for sure. Pistol mags are pretty easy to stuff in a pocket. Not so much with AR mags.
What would be considered the minimum gear one should have to be able to do this?
Here is what Walt sent out in an email last August.Looks like it requires a little more gear than what I have. I would need to figure out a way to carry rifle mags for sure.

Lightweight Combat - Shooter must carry at minimum, enough ammunition to complete the course of fire. All spare magazines and holsters must be worn at waist level on a belt, on a drop leg, or in a shoulder sling bag. Carrying mags in pockets is acceptable. This sub-class is written as LW on registration and scorecard. No handicap will be assessed. Middleweight Combat - Shooter must carry no less than 2 spare pistol magazines and 4 carbine/rifle magazines loaded to course of fire capacity. Carbine/Rifle magazines must be mounted on a vest or chest rig. Pistol magazines and pistol holster may be mounted on either waist, belt, vest or, chest rig. If the pistol holster is located on a vest or chest rig, the draw angle is not to exceed 15 degrees from the deck. (no horizontal mounted holsters) This sub-class is written as "MC" on registration and scorecard. A 2 second per stage handicap will be assessed. Heavy Combat - Shooter must carry an armor load or simulated armor load of 15lbs in a backpack. Shooter must carry no less than 2 spare pistol magazines and 6 Carbine/Rifle magazines loaded to course of fire capacity. Carbine/Rifle magazines must be mounted on a vest or chest rig. Pistol magazines and pistol holster may be mounted on either waist, belt, vest, or chest rig. If the pistol holster is located on a vest or chest rig, the draw angle is not to exceed 15 degrees from the deck. (no horizontal mounted holsters.) This sub-class is written as "HC" on registration and scorecard. A 4 second per stage handicap will be assessed. Open Combat - Pretty much anything goes. You can use .22s in this class. You can switch guns and gear, even use a different set of weapons per each stage, but the catch is you will not get your score ranked with everyone else. This class is for those wanting to try out a multitude of different gear during match in order to find what suites them. You must run in one of the other three in order to compete with everyone else. |
What time does this usually run until?
Only been to two matches, but my memory says 1:30 - 2:30 PM range.
I couldnt make it to this shoot, but wanted to. I am interested in the format. If anyone took video of today's shoot, please post.
I could not make last months match so never heard if they were going to have one this month. I did not get a e- mail about this weekends match.
